. taking a look at the markets. good day on wall street. the dow up 136, the nasdaq up almost 43 and the s&p500 up almost 15 and a half. sandy could go down as the

most expensive storm in united states history. the damage sandy left will have a huge economic impact. it's estimated that she cost about $20 billion in damage and 30 billion in lost business revenue. new york city was hit especially hard by sandy and that city produces about 10% of the country's economic output. by comparison, hurricane katrina cost $40 billion in damage. getting cell phone reception could be easier. at&t and t mobile are agreeing to share networking to help those affected by the storm. it'll let people use whatever network they have. people won't have to pay or do anything. calls will connect through the network with the strongest significant tall signal. and 20,000 flights canceled because of the storm so now the airlines are trying to get back on track. they are rebooking passenger ifs on new flights though some

. still watching sandy spin just to the north. she has changed hour weather pattern. before the weekend talking about temperatures in the 70s, little indian summer, that's gone now. storm this size shifts the entire pattern in the north and

across the northeast united states. there she is centered up north of new york state and canada. still that wrap around northwest, westerly flow bringing in the chill, bringing in rain and showers across baltimore. just light enough to irritate you that you didn't have the umbrella. couple of wintery type. the peak rainfall, they were right around the bay, southern maryland. on the lower eastern shore. we had ten inch plus totals action a foot of rain in easton. we may have had 14 inches, one of the hardest hit towns and across baltimore a half foot of rain. some of that is raining off, rain in pennsylvania, rain across parts of maryland into the river. watch that flood stage, 18.08 now, but going to 1870, up another half foot by 8:00. that should be peak high water for this event. not account for any new rain as we may see monday but -- so far this is much better. irene, we had not only about

ten inches of rain, then lee came in right behind. gave us another ten inches. it's a double or more than double effect of what we got out of this one super storm. pretty good down the river. lot of water moving this is from the tidewater marina. lookinga crowd toward cecil from hartford. tough to find any sun here at summit ridge and same in dundock. little bit of bright sun on the horizon toward the east. there was sun down toward the beach but none of that here in baltimore. we have 49, with the winds west at 12. sunset at 6:05. don't forget to fall back an hour. sandy, the impacts, so many different photographs, to me this is just coast to coast. north of the state line. you can't get to the access road here. they are working on it. they are bulldozing it out and we have feet of snow in western maryland. power outages across garret county. the maryland national guard and

you can see why. darn good early november skiing though. winds now from the west, chilly night. cool on the way. temperatures in the 40s. yeah, it's a cool weather situation and kind of a gray gloomy one. that's going to hold up tomorrow as cool air fun he is in on the back side. once again even into saturday. looks like a crisp fall day. no question about that. again though we will continue to get the clouds and a few showers in tonight. the overall pattern shifting because sandy will stay parked over areas north of new york and that wrap around flow keeping the chill in the air, no question about that. winds out of canada out of the west and northwest. that's the pattern. tonight 37, damp and cold. tomorrow 53. not terrible but maybe a few breaks of sun late in the day. there we go the next few days, more 50s, sun on tap. again toward early next week looking at another chance for rain with a new system on monday. this will be no sandy.

in the meantime don't forget to get ready to set the clocks or if you are -- like me you can wait up until two on saturday night and watch the cell phone --. >> i will go set mine the night before. >> gain an hour. >> we need that. >> all right. there is an election. >> really? >> for the first time since sandy made landfall both candidates are out on the trail. we are right there with them in washington tonight. looks like the campaigns are back in action. >> reporter: it seems like they have called off that temporary truce and with just five-days left until the election, both teams are making that last minute push for undecided voters. >> this election will have huge consequence. >> reporter: romney set his sights on havev. the president won the state in 2008 but now the republican candidate hopes to turn it red again. >> the obama folks are chanting four more years, but
